Wildfire smoke blankets Sask. skies: photos

Smoke once again blanketed the sky over Saskatchewan on Thursday.

Environment Canada issued air quality statements due to smoke drifting into the province from wildfires in B.C. and Alberta.

The smokey skies over the last few days have seen many people around the province taking to social media to post photos and videos about what the smoke has done to the sky around them.

Pic of the sun today. It’s not cloudy, but we needed to turn the lights on in the living room which has large south-facing windows! #skstorm #sask #BCwildfire #smoke pic.twitter.com/Ogi0veeiPU

The sun is behind there somewhere… It's 4 p.m. and it looks like twilight outside. #ypa #skstorm #BCwildfire pic.twitter.com/hhNOZDN6vN
